This year: Blake Griffin or David Lee?

[Grinder]

Both guys are key players for teams likely to be in the playoffs in the West and two of the best at their position. Both guys play with excellent point guards and in the same division. So who would you say is the better player so far this and the rest of the year?

Lee is playing very well this year but I still like Griffin because he has the potential to be better than Lee in any given game.

It's misleading because Blake had such a subpar first month (worst of his career). Along with that Griffin is a much better defender this year. Griffin's numbers will continue to climb and surpass Lee by season end and he has always had more all around impact. Hard to boost his stats when he's only playing 3 quarters and taking 12 shots due to the Clippers blowing everybody out.

Griffin easily. Just a better overall player. Don't let the numbers mislead you. Griffin has sat out several 4th quarters. Plus he had a slow start of the season. Lee plays matador defense. Griffin has improved defensively a lot. Plus Griffin does things you don't even see on the box score that help his team.

Definitely Griffin, along with the hustle and energy he gets you, he's also only playing 32 minutes per game.

He also started the season injured, wasn't playing well at all. Now that he shook it off, he's been averaging insane numbers in this winning streak while not even playing in the 4th quarter...

Blake plays more then 5 mins less then Lee because Clippers keep blowing out teams, so his numbers are a little lower. Put Blake on GSW, he'll post up career numbers easy.

Kevin Love over both of them.

[B-hoop]

Blake, his defense is much better and the stats are misleading because Blake is playing almost half a quarter less than Lee.

[IGotACoolStory]

Neither if I had the choice. I guess give me the curly haired ginger because they are a more rare specie.

Is this a troll thread? David Lee is quite possibly the most skilled, best passing PF in the league. He can control a game in ways that Griffin can't. Griffin can score, can pass, can dribble...but it's like the difference between the way Kobe and Lebron manage a game. To one it comes naturally and it flows and puts the teammates at ease. The other (Kobe) forces it and it shows. And this coming from a Kobe fan.

I've watched every Warrior game this season and about 16 Clips games and Lee is better by a large margin. He has the full offensive repertoire and he does not play matador defense. He gets scored on here and there because he doesn't have the length. He is almost always in the right spot and has soft hands. It is the reason he is such a good rebounder. He gets almost all 50/50 balls and keeps the other team to minimal second chance opportunities.

David Lee easily. Anyone with a brain would pick David Lee. Griffin just seems better because he's flashy and on ESPN more often. If you're on ESPN more often according to this forum you're better.

[Heavincent]

David Lee.

Kevin Love over both of them.

Maybe last years Love.

I'm sure he will improve as the season moves along but right now he looks pretty bad.
